SHERMAN AND FORAKER


 WIFI Report Unanimously in Favor l of Urging sherman as OhiO's Choice l for rPresident-An Outline of the Plat | form.
 l TOLEDO, Ohio, July 27.-The Republican convention was called to order in Memorial Hall promptly at p. m. by Chairman Brins- i made of the State committee. After prayer by the Rev. w. w. Williams, Hon. Danie Ryan, of Portsmouth, was selected as tem- porary chairman. In introducing him MT. | Brinsmade made brief but stirring address | in which he eulogized Senator Sherman and | Governor Foraker and referred to the work | of the last Republican legislature in compli- mentary terms. His reference to Governor Foraker was received with loud applause, but when the name of Senator Sherman was ! mentioned the audience went wild and the cheers were repeated three times over Then there was Hull, but when the speaker said that MT. Sherman's public career had been equalled by few and excelled by none, and that he was we'll worthy of being elect ted to the highest place in the nations gift, the enthusiasm grew in intensity. The ad- dress of the temporary chairman was viz orous one He denounced the Democracy of the State and declared that it in- suited the intelligence of the State when it sought to sneak into power on it's present platform. From this he pro- ceeded, interrupted frequently by cheers, to say: ''The deeds of Democracy have been the richest auguries of Republican victory. A year crowded with Democratic mistakes This year, yea this convention, begins the presidential battle of 1888. Let this conven- ton to-day name Ohio's choice for the presi- dency. You know whom l mean; there is but one name for Ohioans now, whatever there may have been. For twenty eight years the Republican party of Ohio has trusted, loved and honored John Sherman. Let us show to the Republicans of the coun- try that we honor, love and trust him still. Let US give him such sincere, enthusiastic and determined indorsement as is be- fitting so distinguished fellow citizen, whose deeds will live in the nations history as do those of Alexander Hamilton. Republicans of Ohio, from whose midst came a Grant, Hayes and Garfield, cannot with credit do less This is our opportunity; let US grasp it. The people I They have not forgotten the past; they have forgiven it, but they will not follow bour- bonism which seeks to revive the principle of a lost cause. Their march is in another di- rection and as sure as November comes we will elect Foraker and the State ticket. Then let us turn toward 1888 and try to put John Sherman in the White House."
 The conclusion of the speech was received of fhna a delegates upon the floor and the spectators vieing with one another in the heartiness of the demonstrations, while the occu- pants of the ladies' gallery waved their handkerchiefs and clspped their hands for several seconds. When quiet had been restored the roll of districts was called for members of the various commit tees Fully balf an hour was thus occupied and the twenty-6rst and last district had hardly been completed when from the center of the hall the well known voice of Congress- man Charles Grosvenor was heard. lnstant- Iy all eyes were turned in his direction. In slow and measured tones he commenced: "1 have resolution to offer" Then he paused and the pause was fatal for the time being to the matter he had in hand, for, taking ad- vantage of it, ex-Speaker Keller was on his feet. ssI move that all resolutions be read and referred to the committee on resolutions without debate," he shouted. The motion
  and on being put to vote was carried by large majority, although the "noes' managed to make a great deal of noise By this time General Grosvenors res olution had reached the platform. It read as follows
 Recognizing, as the Republi cans of Ohio always have the gifted and tried statesmen of the Repub can party of other States, loyal and unfalterng in 1888 under whatever standard bearer the Republican national convention may select they have just pride member of the Republican party and as states man of fidelity, large experience and great ability. the h,s birth ee of the Republican party. He has grown and developed with the growth Stamped 1np 9pon the records of the party and the statutes and constitution of the country and believ ing that his nomination for the office of President | would be vie and judicous we respectfully present his to the people of the United States support of him for that office.
 No sooner was this read than Colonel J. G. Munson, of Zanesville, rose and offered the ultimatum of the anti-Sherman men in the I following resolution:
 | Resolved, That we hereby pledge the united and % & of the If Gh9 vention, and. in this connection call the atten- vices and splendid career of the Hon. John sher- ! man.
 | Both resolutions were referred without de- bate. The places of meeting of the commit | tees were then announced and the convention ! adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow. The | two resolutions above given are now in the | hands of the committee resolutions. The | opponents of the Sherman endorsement offer | to let the second resolution pass, but declare ! that they will fight the Grosvenor resolution | on the floor of the convention to the bitter end. The committees went into session at \ 2 o'clock and will be at work most of the l night. The committee contains Dr. Gray | don of Hamilton, who will nominate Fora | ker tomorrow, ex-Governor Foster, Hon. John A. Bingham and Congressmen McKin-
 ley and E. R. Taylor.
 The Sherman men are largely in the ma jority on the committee, sixteen to i've 1t 1s
 said, and the Grosvenor resolution will un-
 doubtedly be reported to the convention ! Then the Blaine men will move to substitute
 the Monson proposition and the fight will be
 thrown into the convention. The antl'S
 manites made earnest but unsuccessful efforts
 to effect compromise as well as to induce
 the Senator's ieutenants to change thell
 programme. They have also placed III clrcu l lation for signature a paper by which those
 who attach their names are put on record af
 declaring that they have no power or author
 ity to vote on the presidential question, tna'
 make a State ticket and a vote
 either way on the endorsement will
 compromise them in their districts. Il | enough signatures can be obtalned to tnls
 document to make it formidable an ettor
 will be made to get it before the convention
 tomorrow. Senator Sherman was mucf
 irritated to day at the tactics of the opposi
 ton and remarked that some people were
 treating him as though he was poor boy
 after the husks. "They seem to think
 have no right here," he added, 'but the,
 forget that I am a delegate and as much en
 titled to be here as they are."
 At II o'clock the committee on resolutions
 passed the resolution which absolutely ant
 unqualhedly endorsed Senator sherman 10
 the presidency by vote of Is to 5, whicl
 was afterward made unanimous. The plat
 form reaffirms the Dow law and favors sucl
 additions thereto as seem to be demanded
 by the spirit of the age: It ., takes ..t stron on
 protective ground regarding the tarlH an' an
 portation of foreign contract labor. It con
 demns the Democratic party of Ohio il
 strong terms and on other points takes tn
 usual Republican position.
